Why didn't we directly used hours[i].setSummary(jsonHour.getString("summary")); ???

In the video , first we wrote Hour[] hours=new Hour[data.length()]; Then,we have declared Hour hour=new hour() ; for each iteration and then, we wrote hour.setSummary(jsonHour.getString("summary")); At last we did hours[i]=hour;

why is that we could have used directly??I tried but the apps stops??

You could use hours[i] but first you need to create an object to hold the data so you should write it like this hours[i] = new Hour(); then you could use hours[i].setSummary(jsonHour.getString("summary")); and at the end its the same it's just reference
